What it does

_____ societies. Current law prohibits a performing rights society from entering onto the business premises of a proprietor for the purpose of discussing a contract for the payment of royalties unless the performing rights society identifies itself to the proprietor and describes to the proprietor the purpose for entering onto the business premises. The bill modifies this prohibition by requiring the performing rights society to make an appointment to meet with the proprietor at the business premises during normal business hours before the performing rights society may enter onto the business premises for the purpose of discussing a contract for the payment of royalties.
